While in Florida I had to opportunity to go on a tour of the Space Center. We only had 4 1/2 hours, which was not even close to enough time. I definitely need to go back to Florida with my daughter. 
This is a picture of a painting in one of the buildings.
I can not remember where I heard the story, but I was telling a couple of students about how the turkey vultures know when the shifts change at the space center, and they get ready to eat road kill. Then, just as we were getting ready to leave we saw these turkey vultures hanging out, waiting for the shift to change.
Here is a picture of a rocket engine, that was actually used several times. 
What really amazes me is that as huge as the engine is they still use five of them to launch the Apollo rockets.

The rocket garden. The size of these rockets was overwhelming. It is so cool that they can actually get these rockets into space.
The next two pictures are from the Early Space Exploration Exhibit.
I can't wait to go back and see ALL of the space center.

very interesting, love the vultures
Yeah, you have to get out and see the vehicles they roll the rockets/shuttle out on. Talk about HUGE.
I saw all that long ago as a kid.
